COFFEE COOKIES - COOKIES AU CAFÉ

A few years ago, in October 2006, I published a Brazilian cookie recipe which I had found on the net and which I very much enjoyed (and still do). At this time, my blog was just making a stuttering start (one year and a month old) and it wasn't as visited/"popular" as it is now...

Most of the recipes I posted during that period didn't reach as many people as they would nowadays, therefore I have decided to regularly talk about certain of my older recipes (sweet and savory) and offer them a little more publicity, because some of them really deserve to get known.

Those "Brazilian Coffee Cookies" are very easily made and quite simple ingredient-wise, but my oh my, they are wonderful and truly delicious! They are crunchy, but not hard and melt away marvelously in the mouth, their deep coffee flavor is perfectly well-balanced and not overpowering, yet very present. Thus having a humble look, they also look particularly nice and would grace your afternoon tea table beautifully!

Boy, I would surely need one of those today... having trouble keeping my eyelids openned! Yet, also just because I love coffee flavored foods, I would end up finishing your entire stock! Funny I don't drink coffee though...
